This document supersedes EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009. In addition to editorial corrections this document includes the reaction to fire classification procedure for linear pipe thermal insulation products. ‘This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association CEN, CENELEC and EOTA committees preparing technical specifications, which contain performance requirements against reaction to fire tests, should make reference to the reaction to fire classification given in this European Standard and not refer directly to any specific fire test method. EN 13501, Fire classification of construction products and building elements consists of the following parts: — Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests — Part 2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation services — Part 3: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on products and elements used in building service installations: fire resisting ducts and fire dampers — Part 4: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of smoke control — systems — Part 5: Classification using data from external fire exposure to roofs tests — Part 6: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests on power, control and ‘communication cables.

This classification is based on the test procedures listed in Clause 5 and the relevant field of application procedures. This European Standard has been prepared in support of the second essential requirement in the EC Construction Products Regulation (305/2011/EU) and as detailed in the Interpretative Document Number 2: Safety in case of fire (0J C62 Vol. 37). Background information on the Commission Delegated Regulation (2016/364) regarding the classification of the reaction to fire performance of construction products is given in Annex A. The European Commission has drawn up a list of products which, under specified conditions, can be considered to be class Al without testing. This information is given in the Commission Decision 96/603/EC (OJ L 267 19.10.1966 p23) as amended by 2000/605/EC (0) L 258 12.10.2000 p36) and 2003/424/EC (OJ L 144 12.6.2003 p9). Additionally there is a procedure by which certain products can be assigned a particular fire classification without the need for testing. Such products have well established reaction to fire performance and have been agreed by the Standing Committee on Construction. Agreements relating to such products which may be ‘classified without further testing’ (CWFT) are published in the Official Journal of the EC. Parts 2, 3 and 4 of this European Standard are concerned with classification resulting from fire resistance tests. Part 5 covers classification resulting from tests for external fire exposure to roofs. Part 6 covers classification resulting from tests for reaction to fire of cables. NOTE Test reports constitute the basis for extended application reports as explained in EN 15725.BS EN 13501-1:2018 EN 13501-1:2018 (E) 1 Scope ‘This document provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements with the exception of power, control and communication cables which are covered by EN 13501-6. Products are considered in relation to their end use application. This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in this document: — construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products; — floorings; — linear pipe thermal insulation products. NOTE For CE marking of construction products under the Construction Product Regulation ((EC) 305/201) the NPD option can be used when no reaction of fire performance is to be declared. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

A classification can only be obtained by undertaking the tests or the extended application process required for that particular product. A classification obtained for one product type, e.g. floorings, cannot be interpreted or accepted in a different classification system. 5 Test methods and field of application rules 5.1 General ‘The following test methods are specified in relation to the envisaged reaction to fire classification. ‘The relevant classification parameters are given in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Direct and extended application shall be carried out as described in CEN/TS 15117 and in EN 15725. 5.2 Non-combustibility test (EN ISO 1182) This test identifies products that wil their end use. ‘The test is relevant for the classes A1, A2, Alp, A2r, Al, and A2.. 5.3 Heat of combustion test (EN ISO 1716) not, or not significantly, contribute to a fire, regardless of This test determines the potential maximum total heat release of a product when completely burned, regardless of its end use. ‘The test is relevant for the classes A1, A2, Alp, A2s, Al. and A2. It allows the determination of both the gross heat of combustion (PCS) and the net heat of combustion (PC). 5.4 Single burning item test (EN 13823) This test evaluates the potential contribution of a product to the development of a fire, under a fire situation simulating a single burning item in a room corner near to that product. The test is relevant for the classes A2, A2i, B, Bi, C, Ci, D and D,, Under the conditions specified in 8.3.2 the testis also relevant for the class Al 5.5 Ignitability test (EN ISO 11925-2) This test evaluates the ignitability of a product under exposure to a small flame. The test is relevant for the classes B, C, D, E, F, Ba, Cn, Da, En, Fa Bu, Ci, Di, Ex. and Fi. 5.6 Determination of the burning behaviour of floorings, using a radiant heat source (EN ISO 9239-1) This test evaluates the critical radiant flux below which flames no longer spread over a horizontal surface. ‘The test is relevant for the classes A2s, Br, Cn and Ds. 15BS EN 13501-1:2018 EN 13501-1:2018 (E) 6 Principles for testing, specimen preparation and field of application 6.1 General requirements for specimen preparation Before testing, product specimens shall be prepared and conditioned and, where relevant, mounted in accordance with the relevant test methods, product specifications or other technical specifications. Ageing and washing procedures, if required by the relevant product specifications, are carried out in accordance with that specification. Rules for direct and extended application of test results may influence the choice of the specific specimen preparation and/or details of test arrangements, so as to cover an envisaged field of application of test results, 6.2 Specific requirements for non-combustibi and heat of combustion testing Non-combustibility and heat of combustion are product characteristics and are thus independent of the end use of the product. For homogeneous products they are determined directly. Non-combustibility and heat of combustion of non-homogeneous products are determined indirectly by prescriptive rules, from the data obtained on their substantial and non-substantial components. 6.3 Specific requirements for the single burning item test, the ignitability test and the test for the determination of the burning behaviour of floorings, using a radiant heat source ‘The potential contribution of a product to a fire does not only depend on its ic properties and the thermal attack, but also to a large extent on its end use application in the construction. Therefore, it shall be tested so as to simulate its end use application. NOTE Iwill be noted that as a consequence of a product being used in different end use applications, the product can have different classifications relating to each application. This end use application mainly includes the following aspects: — the orientation of the product; — its position in relation to other adjacent products (substrate, fixing, etc.). ‘Typical orientations are: — vertical, facing an open space (wall/facade position); — vertical, facing a void; — horizontal with exposed face downwards (ceiling position); — horizontal with exposed face upwards (flooring position); — horizontal within a void. All construction products, except floorings, shall be tested in the vertical position for the purpose of reaction to fire classification. Floorings shall be tested horizontally with the exposed face upwards according to EN ISO 9239-1, and vertically according to EN ISO 11925-2. 16BS EN 13501-1:2018 EN 13501-1:2018 (E) ‘Typical positions in relation to other products are for example: — free standing: without any product immediately behind or in front of it. In this case the product shall be tested free standing with an appropriate support; — ona substrate: glued, mechanically fastened or simply in contact. In this case the product shall be tested with a substrate and fastening representing the end use application; — forming a cavity with a substrate. The product shalll be tested as such. Detail of test arrangements are given in the relevant test method. ‘Taking into account the role of the substrates and the fixings on the potential contribution of a product to a fire, a single product may be classified in different classes as a function of its end use application. If only one end use is envisaged, only that end use shall be tested. Products which, in practice, are positioned in vertical or horizontal voids, are tested with an air gap. For such applications, asymmetrical products may be tested and classified for each side separately. In order to reduce the amount of testing, a series of standard substrates is given in EN 13238 and a set of representative mounting conditions is given in the relevant test method or product specification. A sponsor, however, may choose none of the standard substrates or the representative mounting conditions, although this will limit the field of application of the test results and classifications obtained. In the ignitability test (EN ISO 11925-2), products are tested with surface flame attack only if in the envisaged end use application direct flame attack on the edge cannot occur. This is the case for floorings. If edges can be exposed under end use conditions, both surface and edge flame attacks are applied. 6.4 Field of application Field of application can be defined using test reports and other relevant data, in accordance with the procedures specified in EN 15725, which e.g. describes the role of extended application in the classification process. 7 Number of tests for classification 7.1 The minimum number of tests is given in the appropriate test method. 7.2 Fora product to claim a particular classification all the relevant criteria, given in Table 1, 2 or 3, shall comply with the stated requirements. 7.3. For each continuous parameter (47, Am, ti, PCS, PCI, FIGRAcau), FIGRAo4u) ,THReoos, SMOGRA, TSPeoos, critical heat flux) the selection of the class is based on the mean value (m) of the set of results of this parameter, determined in accordance with the relevant test method, using the following procedut a) calculate the mean value (m’) of the set of results for this parameter using the minimum number of tests; b) ifm’ lies within the limits for an envisaged class, the value m used for classification ism’; ©) ifm’ does not lie within the limits for an envisaged class, two additional tests may be carried out; 17BS EN 13501-1:2018 EN 13501-1:2018 (E) 4) _iftwo additional tests are carried out, the results for each parameter in these two tests shall be added to the set of results obtained in the minimum number of tests. Next, the two extremes (highest and lowest) for each parameter individually shall be excluded. The value m, used for classification, shall then be calculated using the remaining set of results for each parameter. 7.4 For the compliance parameters LFS, F, and flaming droplets/particles, the selection of the class is based on the presence of a non-compliance in the set of results of this parameter, determined in accordance with the relevant test method, using the following procedure: — If the set of results for this parameter does not contain a non-compliance, the result “compliant” shall be used for classification. If the set of results for this parameter contains more than one non-compliance, the result “non-compliant” shall be used for classification, If the set of results for this parameter contains only one non-compliant result, two additional tests may be carried out. — If the two additional tests are not carried out, then the result “non-compliant” shall be used. for classification, If the two additional tests are carried out, and a further “non-compliant” is recorded, the result “non-compliant” shall be used for classification. If no further non-compliance results are recorded, then a result “compliant” shall be used for classification. 7.5 The number of tests used for classification of a product is equal to the minimum number of tests given in the appropriate test method increased by two. The two additional tests may be used only under the conditions given in 7.3 c), 7.3 d), 7.4, first and second hyphen. 7.6 Extended application results, obtained in accordance with the relevant extended application rules, are considered equivalent to test results. They are used in exactly the same way as test results for the classification of the product and building element. A classification report within the field of extended application shall include the extended application results, which appear from the extended application report. 8 Testing of construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products (see Table 1) 8.1 Class E, F A product applying for class E or F shall be tested in accordance with EN ISO 11925-2 with 15 s exposure time. 8.2 Classes D, C,B A product applying for class D, C or B shall be tested in accordance with EN ISO 11925-2 with 30s exposure time.

If different end use applications are envisaged for a particular product, this may result in different classifications. In considering substrates and backings which can be applied in practice, EN 13238 specifies standard substrates for use in tests and also gives rules for the field of application of test results obtained using these standard substrates. Use of these substrates is not mandatory. The product may also be applied in end use condition or with a non-standard substrate representative of end use. ‘The applicability of test results using standard substrates given in EN 13238 is included in that standard. Where non-standard substrates are used, the test result is limited to that same substrate in its end use application, The applicability of test results obtained for products attached to a substrate is limited to the method of attachment used in the test. If generic adhesives are used, the results apply for all adhesives of the same type, applied in similar quantities. ‘Generic’ refers to adhesives giving the same or higher reaction to fire classification to the product in question, as that tested. Subject to 37BS EN 13501-1:2018 EN 13501-1:2018 (E) the above, ‘generic’ may also apply to adhesives of a defined type (e.g. polyvinylpyrolidone, polyvinylacetate). If specific adhesives are used, the results apply only for the specific adhesives. The reaction to fire classification may be valid for products within the same family, where family is defined as a range of products within defined limits of variability of its parameters, e.g, thickness, density, end use application, for which the reaction to fire classification is proven to be unchanged, or for which the field of application is extended in an extended application report. NOTE Rules for direct and extended application are given in CEN/TS 15117. 16 Classification report 16.1 General The aim of the classification report is to provide a harmonised way of presenting the classification of a product, based on results obtained during tests in accordance with the reaction to fire test methods, or based on the outcome of an extended application process. A classification report is expected to detail the basis and the results of the classification process. 16.2 Content and format ‘The classification report shall have the following content and format (see Annex B): a) identification number and date of the classification report; b) identification of the owner of the classification report; ©) identification of the organisation issuing the classification report; 4) details of the nature and use of the product under classification, including its commercial name(s); €) detailed description of the product; Either reference is made to a detailed description of the product as available in one of the test reports or in the extended application report(s) in support of this classification, or a detailed description is reproduced in this classification report.
